Ariana Grande Delivers Vocals-First Brilliance in Oakland's Eternal Sunshine Tour Opener
Ariana Grande opened the Eternal Sunshine Tour in Oakland with a 105-minute, 23-song set that leans into her Eternal Sunshine material and deluxe tracks, balancing vocal-focused performances with restrained production and a two-stage design. The show emphasizes singing first, dancing second, and features standout moments like Dandelion, Thank U, Next, and Hampstead, with a climactic rig-assisted closer; the setlist overall skews newer material rather than Sweetener-era hits, and the crowd reaction to the Rain on Me duet was mixed.
